Here is what happen to my colleague's house right before Hari Raya. He told me he had to rushed home in the afternoon because he received a call from his sister, asking him is there anyone suppose to deliver a 'hamper' to his house. He got lucky because his sister just lived by next door. A group of chinese guys parked a CRV right in front of his house and pretended to be delivery guy delivering a hamper. They managed to broke into the front gate and walked into his house within a short time frame. The neighbor, which is my colleague's sister saw someone went into her brother's house, asked them what they are doing? One of the chinese guy that is quite macho and looks like a gangster told her that they are delivering a hamper to the owner. When she asked them where is the hamper? The two guys told them is in the car... Slowly, the CRV drove further down the road so she didn't manage to capture the car plate (although most likely is going to be a fake car plate). When the two suspects notice my colleague's sister trying to call her brother, they leaved the scene, claimed that they have came to the wrong house. But somehow they managed to open up a gate just like that!!
My colleague told me he had to hire a locksmith because these two fellas manage to damage their Solex and Winsir 'top security' padlocks within few minutes. (see below pictures)... Well, based on my study on broken homes and talked to several 'victims', it is advisable to get those padlocks with flat keys. The buglars are aware that most people love to use Solex padlocks so they have designed a spiral key to specifically deal with this kind of padlocks. All they need is less than 1 minute to open these kind of padlocks. So please stay alert and used something different or mix and match with your padlocks to prolong the break in time from buglars.
Such case happened in Kota Kemuning, gated community somemore...
